Wall art Madhya Pradesh

India is abundant in art & craft. Traces of art & paintings are found at every corner and every little village in India. People in the smallest to the busiest cities are busy finding a way to decorate their homes or express themselves through the medium of art.
I'm always on the look out for wall paintings. Here I feature folk wall paintings of Madhya Pradesh. I don't know what these are called... but they are found mostly on the outside of homes & courtyards.
A closer look...
Can you spot the below bird in the first picture.

These are pictures from inside a hotel in Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh. I'd love to try and paint one of these.

What lovely wall art.. I have seen and painted many a walls with warli tribal style paintings.. This would look amazing on a balcony wall no?? Thanks for sharing.. I'll try it on hand made paper. Might be a good gift idea :)
